AS Monaco says: “Our team needs everyone behind them for this opening match of the group phase.”
As for all AS Monaco’s away matches in this European campaign, tickets for seats in the Monaco section will be available exclusively via its online ticket office. It will not be possible to purchase tickets for this stand at the stadium on match day.

The long-term legal battle between French motorists and the forces of law and order has taken a new turn with a legal ruling in favour of groups that advertise the presence of speed controls.
Groups such as Coyote and Waze have the right to tell other motorists, through social networks, about the presence of speed-checking cameras and manned posts with the same purpose.
The legal confrontation started in 2014 between the police and a Facebook group that identifies the whereabouts of police in Aveyron, in the Languedoc-Roussillon-Midi-Pyrénées region.
According to Le Point, the Criminal Chamber of the Supreme Court after an appeal by the Attorney General at the Court of Appeal of Montpellier, finally decided in favour of motorists.
